Variables in SASS

The SASS language allows you to use variables. A variable is a container in which you can store some data and use it in the right places in the code.

To create a variable, you need to come up with a name for it and put the $ sign before it. Then, after the variable name, put a colon and specify the value of this variable. Let's make a variable named var as an example:

styles.scss$var: 20px;

Let's now use this variable as a property value:

styles.scssp {
  font-size: $var;
}

As a result, after compilation into CSS, our variable will be substituted with its value:

styles.cssp {
  font-size: 20px;
}

styles.scss$color: #000;

p {
  color: $color;
}
